Human rights activist and co-convener of the BringBackOurGirls Movement, Aisha Yesufu, has urged the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to widen its anti-corruption investigations to include all public officials, warning that selective justice undermines the rule of law.

Yesufu made the call in a statement posted on her verified X account while reacting to the Federal High Court’s order for the final forfeiture of 48 properties linked to former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami.

Commending the EFCC for securing the forfeiture order, she described the development as a positive step in the fight against corruption but insisted that similar investigations should be extended to other politicians facing financial crime allegations.

“Well done EFCC for this great job! Just so you know, this is the tip of the iceberg from the many reports in the media space,” she wrote.

The activist cautioned the anti-graft agency against what she described as selective enforcement of anti-corruption laws, arguing that justice should not be influenced by political considerations.

“Go after others. Selective justice is equally injustice. Your capacity to work should not be limited to those who fall out with those who have hijacked power. The rule of law must be sacrosanct,” she stated.

Yesufu concluded by reiterating her support for the commission’s efforts while urging it to sustain the momentum.

“Once again, well done for the great job done. We expect more,” she added.

Her remarks come after the Federal High Court in Abuja ordered the final forfeiture of 48 properties linked to Malami, a ruling that has generated widespread public reaction and renewed calls for broader accountability in Nigeria’s anti-corruption campaign.
